The BEST Carrot Cupcake Recipe

Happy New Year Everyone!

I had to start this new year with a recipe that has gotten nothing, but deliciously positive reviews – CARROT CUPCAKES! Carrot Cupcakes are that sinful dessert that you justify as healthy. Sorry to burst your bubble and your new years resolution, oops… Don’t worry, I’ll have an oatmeal recipe here and there in the future.

I catered my mom’s friend’s son’s graduation dessert table in August and the carrot cupcakes were on the menu. Needless to say they were an absolute hit and people still rave about them.

They’re really moist and have a wonderful warmth from the cinnamon. Definitely a comfort food for anytime of the year. And I have to talk about the cream cheese frosting, because you could easily eat it directly from the bowl. The cream cheese frosting recipe is by my cupcake idol, Candace Nelson, the creator of Sprinkles! If you ever have the chance to visit Sprinkles, I highly recommend it! No cupcake shop can even come close to how good her cupcakes are.
